We loved camping at this quiet, clean campground. The staff were so friendly and accommodating. The bathrooms and showers were clean and well cared for. Campsites were large and well-spaced. The lake is beautiful, and an easy entrance into the BWCA. We will be coming back in the future!

Rented a canoe from the campground and took a little trip into the boundary waters. Beautiful! The Camp hosts were friendly and very helpful.

This is the best campground in the Ely area. Perfectly situated just outside the BWCA, Fall Lake offers a great lake to paddle around. Canoe or kayak across the lake to Mile Long Island, which has great little spots to picnic. The hosts are professional and friendly. Stop by the camp office/store for treats or fun activities for the kids. The restrooms are clean and showers warm. The campsites are level and well-situated for tents or trailers. This is somewhere we camp every year.

Workers and hosts were great. Our camp site was not so great because it was tiny compared to most sites, although we made it work. Make sure you have the dimentions of your campsite or you may be stuck with an area that isn't large enough for your tent or camper.
